Is This The Land I Wish Death To Find Me
»Is This The Land I Wish Death To Find Me« was recorded on June 26, 2024 at the Tank Center for Sonic Arts in Rangely, Colorado. The recording is based on a slowly shifting set of ascending just minor thirds: 6:5, 7:6, and 13:11.

ODRZ80
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Massimo Mascheroni's ODRZ project reaches a numerical milestone with ODRZ80, though whether the title references age, BPM, or esoteric significance remains characteristically ambiguous.
